I'm NJ, an information designer and data journalist living in Brooklyn.

My early background in creative writing now informs my multimedia projects across data science and interactive tech. I have a long history in grassroots community organizations and in educational and cultural nonprofits, and I now really enjoy building communications tools to illuminate, explain, and empower. Collaboration has been central to all my working experiences, and I feel proud when I find myself alongside peers I can learn from.
